PANELS
Transport Panel
The Transport panel contains controls for playing, recording, setting song's
position and tempo.

- Pattern/Song Mode (
L) - Switches between pattern and song mode.
In pattern mode, only the current pattern is played, while in song mode the
whole sequence in the Playlist is played. If the
Playlist is empty, in song mode FL Studio will play the patterns in successive
order. Right-clicking this control shows/hides the Playlist window.
- Play/Pause (
Space) - In record mode, plays/pauses the
song and records MIDI input & wheels/sliders tweaks, otherwise just plays/pauses
the song.
- Stop (
Space) - Stops recording/playing.
- Record (
R) - Switches between record and play mode.
- Tempo - Contains the song tempo and tempo
fine tune song controls:
- Song Tempo (bigger digits) - Shows/sets song
tempo. Right-click the LCD screen for some tempo presets. Note: Twice
Slower option does not set the actual tempo of song twice slower (so
the value displayed in the LCD won't change). It just plays the song twice
slower to make it easier for user to record notes/events. After recording,
this option may be turned off to return to the original tempo.
- Tempo Fine Tune (smaller digits) - This
control lets you fine tune the tempo of the current project in measure
of 1/1000 bpm. The value set here will be added to the base tempo. Note
that it's not recommended to use that setting when starting a new song
(it is better to use a whole number for your tempo). However, it can be
used to match the exact speed of another song to be mixed in a FL Studio
project (for making using existing sampled loops, "cover songs"
etc.).
- Song Position Slider - Shows/sets the current
song position.
